I’ve been waiting for the perfect reason to start running my finances like I run the other things I enjoy, and this might be it. If I can make it fun, I think I could stick to it. I’ve tried some of the apps and... I just don’t get enough out of them to warrant throwing that much of my sensitive data at them for free... in fact summarizing it here makes it sound insane. Thank you kind hacker news commenter for sharing your wisdom :)
- OskarS 6y agoThis is another excellent reason for using ledger: you are in total control of your financial data. It’s just text-files, you don’t have to share them with any service, they are not in some weird binary format, and you can use standard tools like git to work with them if you want. You can also collect all the information from every financial service you interact with (banks, credit unions, credit card companies, brokerages, whatever) in one place and get reports on all of them at the same time. It’s the bee’s knees!
